I have been a lurker in these forums for a while- so I thought I would take the plunge and say hello!.

My main interest is building model ships in a small scale; 1/700 and occasionally 1/350 or larger.
The full extent of my madness can be seen here:
http://www.modelshipgallery.com/gallery/users/jim-baumann/jb-index.html

The reason for building in such a small scale is that I can have lots of them !!!---in glass cases around the house without destroying domestic harmony!
There is a limit to how many 1/96 scale models one can have.....

Excuse me while I pick my chin up off the floor....
Absolutley amazing models! (Thumb)
